The Swift support on Linux is the bare minimum required to say "Swift supports Linux". I seriously doubt that Swift will ever be any more "portable" than Objective-C. That is, Swift, like Objective-C, is portable in theory, but nobody uses it for anything except to write programs for Apple's iOS/macOS platform.
- jurip 10y agoSeems to me like the Server APIs group (https://swift.org/server-apis/ https://swift.org/server-apis/) is pretty much about running Swift on non-iOS/macOS platforms.
